I think Cruz is being misrepresented. I am sure he will make compromises as long as they don’t compromise his principles. In any dealmaking there is give and take but I respect someone who won’t crumble on his principles just to reach the deal. Let’s put this in the context of halachah. We can compromise on matters as long as they don’t force us to go against halachah.
Queen, I do hope you’re joking.
